It's not like it's always been a sort of biological ability that all time lords have, is it?
It was in Matt Smiths last Christmas episode. As for regeneration itself, as with most explanations of Time Lord lore, the go to answer is: Rassilon did it.
Rassilon in the new series is insane / evil but in the original series he was the highly respected founder of Time Lord society and helped invented time travel and regeneration as well as most other things. So it's totally possible that Rassilon granted a new set of regenerations to the Doctor in order to ensure that the Doctor could find Gallifrey.
So if he resets the whole regeneration cycle back to 0, that would mean he gets another 10 after Matt Smith, and Capaldi is the first of that new decalogue? Interesting.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
